Thank You Stranahan

I want to send a thank you to the Stranahan family, foundation, et al.

The Stranahan Foundation is the reason conservative speakers and guests come to the University of Toledo College of Law. The foundation set up a trust fund to finance such speeches and events at the law school because Mr. Stranahan knew he could not ensure his money would be used to support conservative ideas if he just gave it to the law school administration. Of this I know what I speak.

Last night I took my family to the Stranahan theater for the first time. We saw Cirque De Sole...........WOW. GREAT venue, great show. I assume it is called the Stranahan because of funding and philanthropy from the family/foundation. I hope I am right. Another shining star in the Toledo/Lucas County area.

I see the Stranahan name in the museum as well, and I think at the Zoo.

Toledo has a lot to offer. It looks like the Stranahan's had much to do with that.

Thanks.

The A-Hole.

I believe the family has done a lot and still are active in Toledo. The United Way bldg downtown, I still call the Stranahan bldg. Thats what I have always remembered it. I believe there is a park over in Perrysburg, I wanna say 501 foundation, but I'm not sure. I think they had something to do with it. There is a lot of things in the area that we, Toledoans can be thankful because of the family. I give my thanks and gratitude also.

This is an interesting encounter/casual bio of Frank Stranahan, a former champion golfer who calls the sport a waste of time. (lulzworthy)

And you've managed to spell the French sun the English underside of the shoe. Another inside lawyer joke?

Do you like trees? Visit Stranahan Arboretum (Sylvania & Corey). I saw a 6-point buck deer in there once. Watch the paper for their annual maple sugaring festival.
